Chapter 48

PHOEBE'S POV

I slammed the door and headed to the kitchen where Oscar was sitting at the table on his laptop. He turned in my direction and shot me a smile. That boy was going to get it.

"I left some chicken for" He began but I quickly cut him off.

"What the hell do you think you're playing at?" I glared at him. He looked at me blankly so I decided to explain, "I know Ash was here yesterday. I know what you told him."

"Oh. That." He sighed and closed his laptop, "Look Phoebe I'm sorry but you can't blame me. I only did it to protect you, I saw how much he upset you and it was the only thing I could think of at the time. The way he treated you, everything he's getting, he deserves"

I knew his reason was sincere. Despite the fact he was younger, Oscar always made it a point that he would look out for me and that he wanted to be a good brother. I couldn't really be that mad at him for just trying to be there for me and it was true, whatever Ash was getting, he deserved it.

"I know, I'm sorry. It's not fair to be angry at you" I took a seat next to him and placed my head in my hands.

"So I'm guessing you saw him then?"

"Yep"

"How did it go?"

"Not good, I had to pick him up from a club drunk and sort him out, but it ended in screaming match." I groaned, "Why can't anything just be simple?"

"What did you guys talk about or scream about?" He asked.

"He just doesn't get it?" I pulled at my hair .

"Get what Phoebs?"

"He thinks I've moved on. How could he think that? Doesn't he know how much our relationship means to me?"

"Do you still love him?" Oscars question took me by surprise.

I hesitated and looked up to see him raise an eyebrow at me.

"I don't know. Yes! I think so. Oh don't look at me like that Oscar, we've been together for so long, my feelings won't just drop like that, you can't decide who you fall in love with and I will always care about him, and in some ways it shows that my love for him was real and I tried to make it work. He wasn't just a guy I dated. I loved him and I can't help the fact that I still love him"

"I don't blame you sis but I think you've just got to wait for these feelings to fade because look at how he treats you. No girl deserved to be treated like the way you were. Yeah you're my sister and I'm more protective of you but you deserve a guy who will give you his world and treat you the right way." Oscar rubbed circles on my back.

Oscars kind word lifted my broken heart slightly, "I love you dude but what if he learns from this and becomes the man that would treat me the right way? He could go back to the Ash I knew at the beginning of our relationship, people can change." As soon as the words left my mouth his hand stopped moving.

"You have got to be kidding me Phoebe? You're not going back to him. He's not gonna change Phoebs. How many times has he hurt you? You've forgiven him every time but sometimes you just can't forgive them anymore. One time is a mistake, twice is a choice and I'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing when he slept with someone else" That last part stung, the whole cause of this was refreshed in my mind and I couldn't get that image of Ash and his "friend" out of my head.

"I'm feeling sick, I'm going upstairs." I quickly rose from my seat and left the room, not even glancing at my brother.

He called after me a couple times but he eventually gave up and let me be. I entered my room and ran to my bed trying to keep the cries and sobs in but there was no point, I was already crying. I let the tears slip from my eyes and down my cheeks.
